While I finally have enough points to go to South America (leaning towards Avianca due to lower admin/scam charges), I was thinking if maybe it's better to go Premium Economy?
I haven't see such an option on the Aeroplan site though... is that something that has to be called in for?
Or am I crazy for even thinking that?
My points would be pretty much wiped out with this one trip and I thought maybe going PE would let me go to Iqaluit at some point down the road.
Well thanks in advance!
In general, there are 2 "cabin/class" options on Aeroplan's site
1. Economy/Premium Economy
2. Business/First Class
Also just using some AC flights/destinations as an example, AC is using the 788 to GRU, which has a Premium Economy cabin. But BOG is on Rouge on a 763, which does not. EZE/SCL is on a 77W which has the cabin.
As for Avianca etc, others here who fly to South America are best qualified to help. Perhaps a good research step would be to view the paid sites for the airlines and routes you want to fly and see which aircraft and cabins are available.
A quick check on Aeroplan and you can see both the Economy and Premium Economy are showing to GRU.
